I used to agree with the bet for your team to win being ok mentality, however sometimes you are privy to knowledge on your team that others aren't. Betting for your team to win is one thing but betting for your team to win when you know so and so is going to get his shirt pulled or be back from...
I mean yes making the team would be easier but I would speculate that isn't a process issue more of a competition issue. I mean Gomez had to wrestle like a week after NCAA's to make Team Mexico, I would say that process wouldn't be favorable but the competition level was.

I think he may be inconsistent until he figures out his weight. I know he doesn't always look it but I've heard he's consistently heavy and it could present issues.
